Tanzania Overview

In many ways Tanzania is an extension of Kenya. The Serengeti-Masai Mara Ecosystems stretches over 24,000km² of land with the Serengeti in Tanzania in the south and the Masai Mara in Kenya to the north. Tanzania encompasses the spice islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia and is the largest country in East Africa and the 13 largest on the continent. Whilst English and Swahili are the official languages, there are over 120 languages are spoken in Tanzania, 

Tanzania is home to the highest free-standing mountain in the world; Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa’s highest point at 5,895 meters (19,340 feet). Interestingly, the largest crab in the world, the coconut crab, can be found in Zanzibar!

Approximately 38% of Tanzania's land area is set aside in protected areas for conservation. The country offers the ability to enjoy the luxury of the white sand beaches and islands and indeed the vast grassy plains, home to incredibly diverse wildlife.
